I'm mid-process on a custom smoker build and we've come to the point of discussing finish. This is kind of a rough-industrial "steam-punk" design, and I'm wanting something other than the usual "high-temp-black" finish.
I've been looking around the web and came across something that chemically patinas steel and you can top that with an oil rub. This seems to be done more on firearms and decor pieces, and I'm having a hard time figuring out whether it's suited for high-temp situations.
The builder has suggested a muriatic acid wipe. I've done that with new chain to "bronze" it for a kitchen pot rack. But 6 feet of chain is one thing. A big-ass smoker is another...
Anyone here ever do, or see something like this done?
